Okay, so maybe this is kinda cheating, scaling down my makeup-less face so you can’t see the budding zit on the side of my nose, but I’m giving you five whole photos to make up for it. It works (says me). Matt took these right after I woke up so please excuse the bedhead and nippage.
I do feel like my skin looks better since the last time I attempted the Naked Face Project (coined by the gorgeous Wishcake), that time I looked at my photos and nearly cried. I’ve been taking my fish oil capsules and drinking my water with Crystal Light and slathering on this amazing mask. Now I’m fresh and glowy again — huzzah!
So hurray for natural, makeup-less faces. It’s empowering to bare all to the world like this and I’m glad I made myself do it. But honestly?
I LOVE MAKEUP.
Makeup (especially you, eyeliner), thank you for making me pretty. Other girls might tell you they don’t need you because they feel beautiful just the way they are. But I’m not that type. Let’s reunite in the bathroom right after I finish this post. I’ve missed you so.
you are HILARIOUSLY WONDERFUL, with makeup or no makeup.
(but you are quite glowy&adorable without the makeup).
and I’m definitely buying that facial mask. Although I’m currently loving my $3 St.Ives apricot mask.
Mich’ Love the pics. You look fresh as a daisy without the make-up!!
You’re so pretty Michelle!
I am the SAME way about eyeliner. I can’t NOT wear it. I feel naked.
Absolutely beautiful!
Eyeliner is my thing too. If all my other makeup got hijacked in the night, I’d deal, but I’d seriously shank a ho for my eyeliner.
Love these pictures!
Yeah… I’m gonna say it. In the middle top photo you look like you mom. That is to say I can see the resembance. It could be cause I’m looking at it on the iPhone. I will have to take a closer look on the computer when I get home. Yup, I’ve checked now three times.
super cute!
you, lady, are gorgeous. with or without. i am like you. i do okay without the makeup, i just prefer to wear it. and it takes me like 7 minutes to do my whole makeup routine, so why not? :)
You do look pretty without the make up :) although like you, I kinda feel naked without my eyeliners. I really count on them to make my eyes pop :p
I love these! You look fabulous!
lol I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who really loves make up- you look beautiful! But anyone who stands between my mascara and I is going to get hurt. My routine takes 5 mins tops and makes me feel really polished. Why not?
It takes courage to go without make-up on your blog. Doesn’t matter how big or small the photo is. I’m with you – I may not need a lot of make-up, but just a little goes a long way with me!
you are gorgeous. /end story.
You did it!!! Good for you, girl. And you look FABULOUS. Seriously.
You’ve announced your love of eyeliner before, how does that one work? Every kind I try smudges and melts into my eye lid.
looks like a dove ad
Aw, those photos are freaking glorious! I love it. I love that you look genuinely happy and comfortable in them (even if it isn’t completely true, that’s totally the vibe I’m getting!) and I think that’s what I’ve been hoping to see with everyone who’s done this project: confidence.
PS: I love that you said “nippage”. Totally made me giggle.
PPS: The top-center one is my favorite. Totally gorgeous. Let’s meet up again soon so I can see that gorgeous face in person.
I feel a Sephora spasm coming on. (Grabbing gift card with a remaining balance of $7 to soften the register blow)
I did it! I did it! (Sort of)
